Where’s my …?Pyramid Activity- Students use toothpicks and marshmallows (or clay) to
create the largest free-standing pyramid possible in a given time limit.
Machine- Teams must work together to become different machines using
only their bodies as the pieces. Give teams a set time to create their
machine and then time to present. Machine examples include: toaster, car,
airplane, washing machine, telephone, and lawn mower.
Capture the Flag- Split into two teams and divide a set area into two. Each
team hides an object (the flag) on their side of the play area. The goal of
each team is to get to the other side, capture the other team’s flag, and
return to their original side without being tagged. If a player is tagged they
have to go to a designated ‘jail’ space. To get out of jail other team mates
must make it safely to the other side and tag jail members who then have to
walk back to their own side before trying to get the flag again.
Sun Catchers- Using transparent plastic lids or plastic bottles (you can ask
students to bring recycled ones from home), create a mixture of 2 parts
water to one-part glue and use it to paste pieces of colored tissue paper to
the bottle. Punch a hole in the top of the sun catcher and tie with string so
they can be hung up.
Simon Says- One student is selected to be Simon, while the rest of the
students gather in front of them. Simon gives commands, starting with
“Simon says
”. If they do not include this at the beginning of their
command, other students should not follow the command. If they
accidentally do, they are out.
Puzzle Craft- Use old puzzle pieces to form crafts. Students can paint them
and then create any shape or design they would like.
Balance- Form a circle with every other person alternating facing in or out,
holding forearm to hand with the person next to them. Those facing in lean
in while those facing out lean out, allowing them to support each other.
Screaming & Running- Have kids take one big breath, and run while
screaming. When they can’t scream anymore, they stop in place. See how
far they can get!
Picture Frame- Glue popsicle sticks in a square to create a picture frame,
making it as wide as desired by using more popsicle sticks. Students can
paint, color, or decorate their frame using art supplies on hand.

 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
 2 cups white sugar

oatmeal mixture, mix, and drop cookies onto wax paper. Allow to cool

Respect YourselfAnt Tag- One person is It and has to tag all other players like regular tag.
However, when a player is tagged they must lay on their back with their
arms and legs up in the air like a dead ant, to come back alive four players
must tag one of each of their limbs. After someone has become a dead ant
three times, they are it.
